Oops, so many posts in the past few days, I almost forgot to post my Sunday night flash. It’s VERY short because I had company show up about five minutes after I started. Excuses made, here she is:

“It’s not champagne unless it’s made in Champagne, France.”

“Paranoid much?”

“Cynical maybe, but not paranoid.”

“Yes you are. Don’t deny it.”

“Fine. Whatever. Oh, I bought a new car yesterday.”

“What’d you get?”
